There are no mainstream sources about the police park story when I looked. I’m pretty sure it’s a hoax.

It’s performative. They’ll never care about Obama imprisoning John kiriakou the same way they’ll never care about the Iranians murdered in January.

It’s low latency for realtime. Discussion of these things have been public for twenty years since Red hat released MRG, and this is a conspiracy theory website.

Turn on showdead. Thanks - moderation on HN is now frequently used to mean dislike rather than guideline violations now the moderators are explicitly enabling politics. Is bad but we’ll stay until the site gets replaced. Yes you’re right both accounts start with d and I confused them.

Militias aren’t targeting people at the unemployment office because they believe in unemployment. They don’t believe in border control though. That’s been a Democrat quasi-position since the Biden administration.

People with gender dysphoria exist. THey are not marginalised: they have the same rights as every other person has. It is not bigotry to not participate in their gender performance, because gender performance is not an innate characteristic, as already mentioned to you in the comment you're replying to.

> Don’t want your info public, don’t become a a servant of the public.

This would effectively mean people would only become public servants if they don't want their own and their family's lives endangered by lunatics.

I didn't submit this political post.

The comment you replied to, but didn't respond to (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47717422), refuted your attempt to reduce vigilante group actions as "telling people where the police are" and raised the violent incidents officers have encountered from vigilante groups.

You ignored both points and are apparently asking about the government interacting with judges.

I got into this guy via this Leftfield collab, it’s a great video: https://youtu.be/KvxbFWY2Hsc sad to hear he was a creep.

No ‘a man can never be a woman’ is a fact and mainstream view. Disliking your sex isn't an innate characteristic and you have no right to force others to believe your illusion or participate in your gender performance.

More to the point you just claimed discussion of these matters wasn’t ever suppressed and then attempted to suppress discussion of them by claiming this was bigoted.

It’s pretty relevant in the UK and globally in tech too.

“A man can never be a woman” and “ok dude” got people banned on old Twitter.

Nobody claimed that. The person you’re replying to quite clearly stated you shouldn’t pretend a preference is a moral stance.

Because previous leadership didn’t have the courage or desire to put moderation in the hands of users.

It wasn’t released as the main disinfo tool until after leadership changed.

Yes and not released until leadership changed.
